The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much has been paid in application fees for indefinite leave for members of the armed forces on discharge in each year since 2015.

This information is not held by the Ministry of Defence. Individuals who choose to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK on discharge, also known as Settlement, submit their application and any associated fee to the Home Office.
